Now I'm trying to take steps to get myself acquainted with Linux, and I'm just
curious, what is the unity desktop? I've never heard of it, but I never
bothered to look it up since I've heard on various threads here probably, that
Gnome is the only accessible desktop for linux out there. Can somebody correct
me on that if it's not true?

When I installed 11.04 I installed it using the accessibility if you do that it
defaults to the classic ubuntu so it works perfect. I found that Ubuntu is
only getting better I hope 11.10 stays that way.

Hi All.
At work we use a couple of Ubuntu machines which I use with ORCA. We're
currently on the 8.04 baseline but they are being upgraded to 11.04.
As I understand it this release includes the new unity desktop by default but
you can use the older style Gnome desktop. Does anyone know if this is write
and how you go about it?
Thanks.
Nick.
